Matter of Wolfson v. Wolfson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 9, 1998
248 A.D.2d 479 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

March 9, 1998

Appeal from the Family Court, Westchester County (Tolbert, J.).


Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The evidence supports the court's determination that the husband is currently earning more money than he represented he was earning in the stipulation of settlement. Consequently, he has failed to carry his burden of showing that he has suffered an "unanticipated and unreasonable change in circumstances" so as to justify a downward modification of his support obligations ( see, e.g., Matter of Brescia v. Fitts, 56 N.Y.2d 132; Reiff v. Reiff, 240 A.D.2d 646; Matter of Yepes v. Fichera, 230 A.D.2d 803, Feld v. Feld, 214 A.D.2d 884; Frieland v. Frieland, 200 A.D.2d 484; Ruggerio v. Ruggerio, 173 A.D.2d 595, 597).

The husband's remaining contentions are without merit.

O'Brien, J. P., Pizzuto, Friedmann and Krausman, JJ., concur.
